An Easy Guide To Mercedes-Benz Car Names

An Easy Guide To Mercedes-Benz Car Names

If you are looking around at a Mercedes-Benz dealer in Brampton, you may have noticed a peculiar trend in the car names. While most companies have specific names for a vehicle like the Nissan Altima or Toyota Tundra, Mercedes-Benz likes to name all of their cars with just a couple of letters. This may seem more confusing at first or harder to remember, but each letter refers to a specific class of car or feature, so you can easily combine letters to describe a car. Here is a breakdown of the most common letters and what they mean:

A: This class is the hatchback, which features additional storage.

B or R: These are the different multi-purpose vehicles, an all-around good choice for any family or single driver.

C and E: These are the more popular coupe models, which are a bit larger than sedans.

G: This is the SUV class, perfect for people who want plenty of seating and trunk space.

S: This is Mercedes-Benz’s unique luxury sedan class, and it is one of the most popular models.

Now that we have a general guide to the different classes of cars, we can then add additional letters to signify the types of features. An “L” will always represent a luxury car, so a CL-class is simply a luxury coupe. It’s very easy to determine the #class and type of any model you see. Other symbols include “K”, which indicates a supercharged engine, “T” for turbo and “D” for diesel.

Fortunately, you don’t need to remember all these terms when you shop at a Brampton dealership like Mercedes-Benz Brampton. We can help you decode and understand all the features on each model, so check us out online at www.mercedes-benz-brampton.ca. We’re here to find the perfect new or preowned vehicle to fit your style and budget!
